THE PROPERTY AND ITS HIDDEN FEATURES

This spectacular three-bedroom detached house, located in the heart of Southbourne, has been completely modernised to a high specification by the current owner, making it a perfect turnkey opportunity for one lucky buyer.

In 2024, the property was transformed into a charming, luxury family home with many standout features rarely seen in houses at much higher prices in this area let alone a house below £600,000.

The images, floor plan, walk through tour and videos do a fantastic job of illustrating the aesthetic of this property, however as captivating as the visuals are, many great assets of this property cannot be seen in images and videos. To ensure buyers understand the hidden benefits of this house, we will list several facts below:

- TRIPLE glazed windows were installed in early 2024 which has improved both heat and noise insulation substantially. The windows came with a 10-year guarantee. Triple glazing is a rare feature and will be an extremely desirable to many buyers. The guarantee details are with the seller¿s solicitors and will be passed to the buyers via the conveyancing process after an offer is accepted

- The new combination boiler was commissioned in April 2024 and features a 10-year warranty. The seller has provided their solicitor with certification of installation and details of the warranty which will be passed to the buyer via the conveyancing process

- The house has been fully rewired (not partially) which includes a new consumer unit. The sign off certificate is dated July 2024. The electrical installation certificate is also with the seller¿s solicitor ready to be passed to the buyer¿s solicitor during the conveyancing process

- The bathroom features electric underfloor heating controlled by a digital thermostat which adds a very luxurious feel to an already spa like bathroom

- The herringbone flooring is a stunning feature and is made with real wood (Oak)

- The carpet is bleach cleanable ¿ great for families and pets

- The kitchen features Bosch integrated appliances including a full-sized dishwasher, a larger than standard induction hob with a built-in extractor fan (no ceiling or wall mounted extractor required) and, the all important wine cooler

- The kitchen work surface is Quartz composite, harder wearing and more stain resistant than natural stone but equally as luxurious. Quartz is a high end, luxury feature of many modern kitchens

- The secret kitchen cupboard is a great hidden space with multiple uses

- Power has been run to the rear section of the garden giving the new owner flexibility and choice of how to use the space. Maybe a garden room or garden kitchen under a vine covered pergola

- The rainwater gutters have also been replaced on all sides of the property

Upon arrival, the property greets you with a shingle covered driveway for 1-2 cars in addition to the lawned front garden area. A characterful archway leads to the period styled front door via a covered porch all of which provides charisma and curb appeal.

From the front garden, a side gate provides convenient access to the rear garden down a wide foot path, ideal for small machinery (a mini digger could fit through this space), wheeling cycles, transporting inflatable bouncy castles and bins amongst other items without having to go through the house.

The interior begins with a wider than expected entrance hallway which leads into a stunning open-plan kitchen dining room. Featuring striking oak herringbone flooring from front to rear, the initial view upon entering the house is breath taking (please refer to images).

The kitchen is practically arranged with a central island as a stunning focal point of the room. Quartz stone worktop wraps the island and the Fluto panelling is a striking interior design feature making this kitchen magazine worthy. The Bosch integrated appliances include a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge/freezer, oven and microwave and induction hob with built in extractor. A wine cooler is also included which will be music to many buyers ears.

This spacious open plan room comfortably accommodates a dining table with seating and features one of the greatest views in the house. From almost anywhere in the kitchen (and even the entrance hall) a stunning view can be enjoyed through the bifold doors onto the paved patio and beyond to the beautifully landscaped, southerly facing rear garden extending to approximately 80 ft.

Bespoke carpentry provides under-stairs storage cupboards and a cleverly designed, practical downstairs WC with motion sensor lighting.

The sitting room features the same bleach washable carpet as the stairs, landing and bedrooms and is further enhanced by the triple-glazed bay window with view onto the front garden. This room also benefits from bespoke carpentry. A feature wall has been crafted with display recesses and feature lighting ideal for books, ornaments to name a few uses.

Upstairs, a generous landing is filled with natural light due to the large triple glazed side window and leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, each in stunning condition with new carpets and elegant decoration.

The three-piece bathroom suite includes a Crittall style shower screen, shower and vanity unit with inset sink. Access to the loft can also be found in this room which provides great storage space or potential to extend subject to any permissions that may be required.

Newly fitted as column radiators in the open plan area and under window radiators in other rooms, you'll notice the same style, designer radiators have been installed throughout the house except for the bathroom where a heated towel rail suited to the bathroom¿s interior has been installed.

The southerly facing rear garden is an amazing space for family and friends to make memories. At circa 80 ft in length and 26 ft in width, it's yet another great selling point of the house. Some might say it's the best selling point of the house¿ The raised patio is ideal for garden furniture, BBQ's, social gatherings, sunbathing and much more, has a step down to a lawned area with mature planting (some of which are fruit trees) either side of the garden. The garden has been thoughtfully futureproofed with electric installed to the rear giving the buyer endless options for possible uses of that space.

SCHOOLS, RECREATION, LOCAL SHOPPING AND DINING

The house is in a prime location in the heart of Southbourne with Southbourne Grove High Street, local schools, a bus stop (on Beaufort Road), and various other amenities all in proximity. Not forgetting the stunning beaches, Overcliff and the river Stour are also local and enjoyed by residents daily.
